With more and more classic '80s and '90s franchises getting reboots these days, it's hard not to look back and long for the original TV shows, movies, and toys. After all, millennials grew up with a treasure trove of memorable characters -- from Jem and the Holograms to Rainbow Brite, He-Man to Rugrats. The good news is that as these reboots emerge, anyone who grew up in the '80s and '90s may be inspired to share the entertainment they loved with the next generation. And that's exactly what many parents these days are doing. Sure, kids these days have Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Frozen, but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the same characters their parents grew up with and still harbor plenty of mushy feelings for.

Millennial moms and dads who are expecting their first child have plans to keep Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street on as background noise in their nursery. Others are introducing their big kids to slightly more advanced entertainment like Star Wars (which of course debuted in the late '70s but stretched into the early '80s and '90s) and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Here, 15 parents share the franchises they're sharing with their kids and hoping they grow to love as much as they did back in the day.

"I've been having rainy movie screenings at home with my son. Adventures in Babysitting, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, The Sandlot, Ladybugs, The Great Outdoors, Parenthood. I love 'em! He loves 'em! It's really fun!" -- Christine C., Riverdale, New Jersey

"I gave my daughter my childhood Cabbage Patch, and she said it’s weird and won’t play with it. I thought it would have been cute for her to play with what was one of my fave dolls!" -- Helen M., New York, New York

"I read and collected Archie comics as a kid. Now both of my girls love them! They head to the newsstand each week for the newest one. I think the stories stand the test of time and well ... the rise of Riverdale did not hurt." -- Jill T., Los Angeles, California

"I love She-Ra and He-Man and Jem and the Holograms. I have been collecting the old movies and shows and have slowly been introducing Desi to them. He’s at the point now -- he's 5 -- where he likes to hear my stories about what it was like for me when I watched them. Where I was, what I liked, what scared me, who my favorite character was." -- Samantha L., Boston, Massachusetts

"My kids have seen Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer so many times that my toddler wakes up daddy by singing, 'Wake up flowers, I've been up for hours. There's work to do!'" -- Liz N., Cary, North Carolina

"We’re basically just re-living the best parts of our childhood with our kids. Our son still likes things like PJ Masks and Paw Patrol, so we’re not completely disconnecting him from today, but I think we all agree Rugrats is better!" -- Mary Lynn W., Owensboro, Kentucky
